Open-back sound from closed-back wireless headphones
Smart, comfortable design ; Impressive SXFI audio technology ; Good connectivity
Bluetooth audio lags on games and video ; Fiddly set-up process ; No carrying case
Creative’s SXFI Air headphones make an impressive debut, although the SXFI audio tech works best with a wired connection and Bluetooth performance is more modest.

Open-back sound from a pair of wireless closed-back headphones
Wide soundstage ; MicroSD card slot ; Integrated SXFI
The setup process ; Latency over Bluetooth ; iPhone app is still MIA
Creative's Super XFi headphone holography platform is expanding by the day - and its newest entry, the SXFI Air, is already making waves.
Expert review by : Adrian Willings (pocket-lint.com)
A hybrid wired and wireless gaming headset that seemingly offers it all - but does it really deliver in all areas?
Incredibly comfortable protein leather earcups ; Personalised sound highlights ; Multiple connection options ; High quality microphone
Default sound isn't as rich as other headsets ; Lacks true low-latency wireless
An interesting upgrade over its predecessor, which adds Bluetooth convenience to an already fantastic headset. Comfort and quality is good and we only have miror moans.

Creative's SXFI Air headphones provide a unique audio experience at half the price of popular wireless headphones, and we're impressed. Here's our review.
Expert review by : Hoots the Owl (hardwarezone.com.sg)
Creative's second Super X-Fi gaming headset packs a ton of features and good all-around performance at a price that's hard to debate.
Super X-Fi successfully expands the soundstage and adds richness and depth to music and movies ; Battle Mode delivers super accurate positional audio in FPS games ; Works with PC, Mac and most major consoles
No dedicated microphone mute button ; Kevlar-reinforced USB cable is too stiff ; Headband could use more padding ; SXFI magic only works via USB ; USB-C location gets in the way of CommanderMic boom when used together

We review Creative's second attempt at a Super X-Fi headset, supporting both wired and wireless (Bluetooth) connectivity and it even has a microSD card reader built-in. Let's see if it better fulfills the SXFI promise for the everyday user!
Standalone music player thanks to built-in microSD card reader ; Pretty good all-around performance ; Good value for wireless headphones
Bass can be a little dry ; Super X-Fi effect sometimes causes vocals to be overpowered.

We quickly scope out the first headset to come out with built-in SXFI tech embedded - the Creative SXFI Air C.
